Gu Jiani: Transition

EVENT DESCRIPTION

One of China’s most daring voices in contemporary dance delivers the Hong Kong premiere of her latest work!

Freespace presents the Hong Kong premiere of Transition, Gu Jiani’s latest epic set, sound, light and movement creation.

Gu is known for explosive choreography that borders on dangerous and demands fearless trust and absolute precision between dancers.

In Transition, she takes us on a thought-provoking non-narrative journey through themes of growth, change, time, transformation and the objects we manufacture and thoughtlessly discard.

Without her own studio, Gu rehearsed much of this guerrilla-style in parks and other public spaces throughout Beijing.
